Barrier Wall

The Barrier Wall is the most extensive mountain range of northern Garund. They run in a general east-westerly direction, north of the jungles of the Mwangi Expanse. They stretch from southern Rahadoum in the west, through southern Thuvia and Osirion before turning south to form the western border of Katapesh. They end in the northernmost corner of magical Nex.[1]

North of the Barrier Wall the land is arid and dry, exemplified by the deserts of Rahadoum, Thuvia, and Osirion. South of the mountains the air is filled with moisture and rain is common, with the rainforests and jungles of the Mwangi Expanse the dominant geographical feature.[2]

The mountains are home to a group of druids known as the Stonewardens who actively protect their home from mineral exploitation.[3]Gnoll tribes are common in the eastern portions near Katapesh and Osirion,[4] with occasional dragon sightings from time to time.[5] The southernmost reaches of the Barrier Wall are home to the monstrous, unnatural creations of the Nexian city of Ecanus' fleshforges.[6]
